Sony HT-X8500 2.1Ch Soundbar With Dolby Atmos And Built In Powerful Subwoofer, Simulated 7.1.2 Surround Sound, Slim And Elegant, 1 Year Warranty

This sound bar comes with the ARC HDMI port that perfectly connects with the ARC HDMI cable. The ARC HDMI comes along with this sound bar. The vertical sound is magic and quite powerful. Also, since it comes with inbuilt subwoofers making this a one piece sound system for your room. I use this for my bedroom tv and it works well in a smaller room.For its price and the fact I own a Sony 4K Smart TV, this sound-bar is worth it.

Best in this price range. Does amazing job for TV and movies, the virtual vertical surround is amazing. Pretty powerful in a small room (30 sq.m). Bass is good. The only set back is that in high volume the bass gets lost a bit. Can connect to an Alexa device. ARC and Dolby are there as well. Overall a great product by Sony and unmatched in that price range, especially discounted for White Friday. Giving it a 4 star to note that if you want a deeper bass, a subwoofer may be needed.

When you write the words "Powerful Subwoofer" in the product Title and Description, a trusting consumer would either assume this comes with one (subwoofer) or at least the built in Low frequency speaker "covers" the sub bass frequency. Unfortunately, neither is true. The Sound bar isn't powerful, does not include a separate Subwoofer not does it offer the built in frequency to compensate. It's average, mid sound levels. The controls, build quality and features (BT etc..) are fine though, hence the 3 stars

Very good value for money. TV sounds will never be the same again. Modes work and change the sound profile as expected. Like the Voice mode which makes dialogues easy to listen to. Only downside is that you the visual feedback (combination of LED lights) when a mode is selected is confusing. Instead you will have to rely on your ears to confirm a mode is activated. Otherwise, the product is amazing.

The sound bar is amazing and got for less than market price thank you Amazon.

So after having this item for a week and putting it through the works, I have concluded that this speaker is over rated!!!It is not what I expected, it is loud but not clear, the sound is muffled no matter what settings you put it on, there is bass and quite a lot of it coming from an all in 1 soundbar, but I noticed there is no dedicated tweeter, but it is 2 way speaker on each side and 2 subs in the center.I have an HT-S100F and it sounds much better and it is 50% cheaper.Don't get me wrong it does try and do a good job at mimicking Atmos but it just doesn't sound right.Sorry Sony, you tried with this one, but unfortunately it doesn't work.

i did good search on this sound bar before buying it and i found good feedbacks about it , after few days using it i can say that it is worth every penny and the sound is very good considering that it is an entry level Dolby atmos sound bar , Dolby atmos works very well with ARC / eARC ; make sure to turn on eARC on your Tv and enjoy ; i tried playing those sound test videos on YouTube but i was not fascinated by the sound however when i played a Dolby vision / Dolby atmos movie on paid platforms i truly understood how it preforms . amazing product , amazing sound at this price tag.

Sound bar performance is very poor cash is wasted. Sound is distorted due to bass which it cannot handle. Couldn’t use sony TV remote to change the options in sound bar remote. Dolby Atmos and DTS:X will only work with eARC not with ARC, which most TV’s may not have.
